      Epic Fail. Dead in the Water and Doesn't Know It

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      People really care and are trying to do what's right. People really want to do great things and educate others.

      Cons

      Toxic work environment owing to destabilized, inconsistent, and contrary edicts from Pearson Upper Management. Absolute lack of focus or precision in rolling out new policies and/or procedures. Internal/external politics across the various business units, regions, and the various publishing houses now working under the Pearson banner, have lead to stagnation.

      great benefits great non-upper management people can work from home flex time

      Cons

      CEOs getting multi-million dollar bonuses while employees get tiny raises lack of respect for workers ridiculous deadlines long hours without appreciation expectation to always work long hours fear of being let go if you don't work long hours lots of reorgs management is clueless very little training systems always changing due to reorgs not concerned with quality only bottom line outsourcing to companies because of price not quality lack of communication lack of job description meetings meetings meetings lots of vacation time but management dictates when it can be taken inequalities galore

      Pros

      Great Benifits and really want to work with employees. Attempt to provide the best for the employee.

      Cons

      Currently some reconstruction going on. This has created some confusion. A lot of outdated processes, and lack of communication in certain areas. Closed off feeling from department to department.
